Bill on Slave Trade Regulation Passes in House
The Commons debated funding for Somerset House buildings and the slave trade bill. Sir John Miller proposed an inquiry into annual expenditures, but the motion failed 31 to 76. Sir William Dolben announced support from slave trade interests for his bill limiting passengers per voyage, which passed after discussion. The stage coach passenger cap bill was prepared for a second reading and adjourned.
